This year’s event, to be held at Matrade Exhibition and Convention Centre on May 7-11, will be launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Noharuddin said the halal food products market was estimated at RM150bil a year.
The world's largest halal trade fair, Mihas 2008 has included food processing and packaging machinery to cover a broader spectrum of the halal value chain.
Mihas 2008 will also feature pharmaceuticals, herbal products, cosmetics, healthcare, banking and finance.
“We would be holding other promotions such as trade-matching sessions, trade dialogues, seminars and awards presentation, too,” Noharuddin said.
He said 610 booths were available and the fair hoped to attract about 500 companies and 40,000 visitors.
“Mihas last year registered 36,792 visitors and 426 participating companies, including 96 foreign firms, and 514 booths,” he said, adding that 26 countries participated in the event.
To date, 339 booths had been booked and companies from China, India and Pakistan had confirmed their participation, he said.
